it's rare but it does happen :dunno_black: i had a friend who shot himself 6 times in the head with a nail gun to the temple and had no lasting effects. but one would think that the cavitation caused by the slug passing through her brain would at lest cause some swelling and bleeding but i guess the entrance and exit wound would keep the pressure down i just hope she does okay.

I don't think this article proves that tea has super powers so much as it proves southern hospitality is alive and well. I'd like to think that any proper Southerner would offer a guest tasty delicious tea whether they were shot in the head, caught in a bear trap, or being "probed" by aliens. That's why in the XealotX household we have tea available at all times.

Nothing like Sunbrewed Southern Iced Tea with lots o' lemon! My Aunt in Arkansas made the best tea in the world. I sure do miss it can't get good tea here in Florida!

Dont even get me started on sweet tea ... in texas they have iced tea on the menu but its unsweetened ... all restaurants have it and its always unsweet.

You complain/ask for sweet tea and they will bring you sugar ... moron's sugar will not dissolve in cold tea Idiots.

Worse yet, even things like raspberry tea is unsweet. It has raspberry juice but not sweet. Man was I glad to be back in NC just for this reason.

Cool.

I'm not surprised.  There is a guy from Texas where I work and he says he is more westerner then southerner.  Also, West Texas sweet tea comes out of the ground and should only be consummed by your bike.

I got the states often (yes, I'm from Canada... and no we didn't let the 9/11 terrorists into your country) and I mistakenly order Iced Tea thinking its the same as up here.  that shaZam! is TOTALLY different.  Ours is sweetened and in most places is that 'Nestea' or 'Brisk' stuff.  Down there its brewed tea... with sugar.  Screws me over every time.  But I'm a slow learner...   :thumb:

Wait a minute...are you claiming that tasty...delicious...mana of the Gods...fresh brewed sweet tea is a good thing :thumb: or a bad thing :nono:?

Be careful how you answer...Janet Napolitano can pull your passport at the drop of a hat.

Living in the south, I am morally obligated to tell you that unsweetened Tea is an affront to all that is holy and American.   

Seriously though, I don't drink coffee or tea.
